Crusty dried on wax can take away from an otherwise pristine finish. Don't resort to forcefully rubbing it off, which can cause swirl marks. Dried-On Wax Remover is specially formulated to dissolve dried wax so you can easily wipe it away. It is safe for your vehicle's plastic or rubber parts, like window trim, rubber seals around door handles, antenna bases, and windows. Apply directly to the affected area using a cloth or one of our Yellow Scrubbing Pads and watch that residue disappear.

UselessI tried this multiple times to remove wax from the windshield wiper cowl. This wax "remover" didn't do a thing - even with a brush.

Easy To UseWent to a recent car show and felt bad for this guy who had old wax residue around his chrome trim. I used Dried-On Wax Remover and a few cotton balls. Followed up with my business card. Took about 15 minutes but it call came off.

Wonderful productI used this product last weekend when i washed, clayed and waxed my car. There was some dried on wax from previous waxing sessions on my trim. This product works! My trim is wax free and looking fabulous! Thanks Richard for these awesome products!

I use a synthetic wax. Over that wax I apply Griot's carnoba wax every 6 to nine months. Do I ever have to remove those waxes or can I just go over them in 6 to 9 months?

Asked by: ter ter

You can layer the wax every 6 to 9 months. One of the main reasons for removing any wax is if you have any imperfections in your paint (swirls, scratches, etc.) then you would want to use our paint prep item 11135 to remove any old wax before polishing out those imperfections.

Will wax remover remove dried on Griot's clay? &nbsp;I have dried clay by pin strips and do not want to damage the pin strips.

Asked by: East coast

We would recommend using Speed Shine to lubricate the area to assist with removing the dried on Paint Cleaning Clay. When doing any polishing, waxing or using Paint Cleaning Clay we would recommend staying away from the edges of the pin strips, you may want to mask those areas off using tape.

Silicone grease was used on the rubber seals of the doors in order to stop them from squeaking. &nbsp;It has now built up and needs to be cleaned off, do you recommend dried-on wax remover or your rubber cleaner?

Asked by: Jasper

We would recommend first using our item# 11136 Rubber Cleaner. If that doesn't work, then try our item# 11071 Rubber Prep. We would not recommend using the Dried-On Wax Remover in this case for your rubber seals.

Does this also work on removing dried-on polish? As in Machine Polish 1,2,3 and 4.

Asked by: ChillyB
